Starting now against Uraguay. Playing agaimst the likes of Forlan and Cavani, well done Billy

Anyone know if this game is streaming online?

I sent you a pm explaining why that would be infringing copyright laws

 

 

Mckay is looking good when he gets the ball although there are usually 2 defenders on him straight away and in typical south american style they are all over him when a corner/cross comes in...... but it is good experience for the lad!

mckay got subbed he had a good 60 or so minutes and a few shots on target he was also playing (for about a minute) with sanchez on the pitch good night for him all that was missing was the goal.

 

He also took a few hard knocks so I was glad when he was subbed he might have picked up a serious injury with some of that tackles I seen getting thrown around!

Glad to hear he had another good outing last night. He should be in the frame for future squads after his performances in South America.

And despite losing both games, Northern Ireland have probably enhanced their reputation over the two games. I thought they could have easily taken heavy losses in those games.

It's maintained the unenviable record of NI having failed to score away from home (in a friendly) since 2006, but the experience gained will be invaluable to those players - more so than games against say, Malta and Andorra where they would likely have scored.

 

Well done Billy! His season is now over. Have a rest. We're playing Clach in 4 weeks!

Billy Mckay is pushing for a start against Hungary in September for the EURO 16 qualifier. He's defiantly worth of the step up. 

thought he was brilliant against uruguay, held the ball up better than ive seen him do in a long time (probably because the balls were into his feet and not his head) mcginn hada great chance to play mckay in in that game but the selfish runt tried to go himself and got snuffed out by lugano. but that was the only real break they got in that game. he did everything you could ask of your striker against a much higher standard opposition. balls into the box were snuffed out by the 2 uruguayan centre half. as youd expect of lugano and a 6ft 5 coates.

That's the sort of stuff you'll get in the North Superleague next season, lukemackay! Lumbering 6' 4" centre backs from Torry!
